Can I setup an eero 6 pro to not rebroadcast wifi?

One of our computers for some reason has issues losing/reconnecting to wifi when the screen turns off (or I guess when it goes to sleep).  

In any case, I have various extra eeros and would like to add one of them to my network and connect it via ethernet to this one computer.  I do not want to use this eero to rebroadcast wifi though as I already have several other eeros strategically placed around the house, and this one would possibly interfere (as I've had issues in the past with too many eeros distributing wifi).

I added the eero 6 pro but can't find any option to turn off the rebroadcasting of wifi.  Is that something I can't do?  If this is the case, can I possibly do so with other versions of the eero?  Or do they always rebroadcast wifi and you can't turn that off?

Thank you.

    You can’t turn it off. A simple fix for this computer might be to try getting a cheap $30 usb WiFi dongle and connecting it to your problematic computer. I had this same type of issue with an older desktop and new WiFi card fixed the issue.
